Description
This invention relates to the removal of items from a covered truck bed and deals more particularly with a tool which may be used to hook the item in the covered truck bed and drag it to within arm's reach.
In the prior art it was necessary for an individual to crawl upon his hands and knees in order to retrieve items from the front of a covered truck bed.
The prior art discloses many arm extension devices which have differently shaped tips useful for differing applications.
Farwig, U.S. Pat. No. 2,220,069, discloses a wood handle attached to an elongated steel rod with an "L" shaped hook at the tip used for handling hot cooking utensils.
Morgan, U.S. Pat. No. 3,354,520, discloses an elongated handle with a metal hook and a fin at one end used to open and close zippers.
Repiscak et al, U.S. Pat. No. 3,463,533, discloses a handle with a longitudinally elongated U-shaped hook and longitudinally elongated L-shaped hook at one end used for the purpose of allowing a truck driver to easily adjust the right side mirror of a truck and also to close the windows and doors on the truck's right side while the driver remains seated in the driver's seat.
Colburn, U.S. Pat. No. 3,644,951, discloses an elongated handle with a 3-shaped hook which is used for unlatching and pulling the lever on the trailer truck's fifth wheel without getting the user's clothes dirty.
Williams, U.S. Pat. No. 3,936,088, discloses a flexible elongated handle which has an S-shaped hook at the tip which is connected to the handle at the center of the S wherein the upwardly open hook is used to push a tarpaulin away from the user and the downwardly open hook is used to pull the tarpaulin towards the user. Williams also discloses the use of a hinged handle which allows the tool to be folded.
Piper et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,153,286, discloses an elongated handle having an upwardly open V-shaped hook at the tip which is used to place and remove hanging plants onto ceiling hooks.
The arm extension tools disclosed in the prior art are not adapted for removing items from a covered truck bed as the hook is not shaped so as to fit into the grooves of a truck bed, thereby allowing the user to remove small items from the grooves. Also, the hook is not extended away from the handle in such a manner as to allow the user to view the hook when the tool is used in a straight ahead fashion as is necessary to remove items from a covered truck bed. Accordingly, a substantial need exists for an arm extension tool which can remove large items from the front of a covered truck bed, remove small items located in the grooves of a truck bed and allows the user of the tool to view the hook when using the tool in a straight ahead fashion as is necessary when removing items from a covered truck bed.
The invention is an elongated handle suitable for being gripped by the human hand with a hooking element securely coupled to one end. The hooking element extends away from the handle in such a manner as to allow the user to view the hooking element when using the tool in a straight ahead manner.
The invention eliminates the need for an individual to crawl upon his hands and knees into a covered truck bed in order to remove items located at the front of the truck bed.
As used herein the terms "hook" and "hooking element" refer to a curved or bent device used to catch or drag an object.
As used herein, the term "half-handles" refers to one half of a handle which when connected to the other half of the handle forms the entire handle and "handle-sections" refers to a multiple of such handle pieces.
FIG. 1 is a side view of a preferred embodiment of the tool.
FIG. 2 is an end view of a preferred embodiment of the tool with a square-U hooking element.
FIG. 3 is an end view of a preferred embodiment of the tool with a round-U hooking element.
FIG. 4 depicts the use of a preferred embodiment of the tool with a squared hooking element to remove items from a squared truck bed groove.
As illustrated in FIG. 1 the covered truck bed hook 5 has an elongated handle 10 with a first end 10a suitable for being gripped by the human hand. A hooking element 20 is securely coupled to the second end 10b of the elongated handle 10. The hooking element 20 has (i) an attachment portion 20a which attaches hooking element 20 to handle 10, (ii) an elongated portion 20b which displaces hooking portion 20c away from the longitudinal axis 13 of the handle, and (iii) a hooking portion 20c which forms a hook which defines a plane which is substantially perpendicular to the plane passing through the longitudinal axis 13 of the handle and the longitudinal axis of the extension portion 21. Hooking element portions 20a, 20b, and 20c form a single solid hooking element.
In a preferred embodiment the second end of handle 10 is capped with a metallic cap 30 in order to prevent chipping of handle 10 and to aid in keeping hooking element 20 securely attached to handle 10. When a metallic cap 30 is utilized hooking element 20 may be welded to the metallic cap 30 as a means of ensuring that hooking element 20 is securely attached to handle 10.
In a preferred embodiment handle 10 can be taken apart into two or more handle-segments 11 and 12 of substantially equal length which, when fastened together, form handle 10. The handle segments 11 and 12 are capable of being repeatedly engaged and disengaged to aid in storage of the tool 5 when the tool 5 is not in use.
In the most preferred embodiment handle 10 is two half-handles 11 and 12 which are screwed together to form the handle 10. Attachment portion 20a of hooking element 20 is firmly embedded into the end of handle 10. Extension portion 20b of hooking element 20 is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 13 of the handle. The plane defined by hooked portion 20c of hooking element 20 is substantially perpendicular to the plane passing through the longitudinal axis 13 of the hande and the longitudinal axis of the extension portion 21 of hooking element 20. Metallic cap 30 is glued to the second end of handle 10. And, hooking element 20 is made of zinc and is welded to metallic cap 30.
The invention is utilized to remove large objects from the front of a covered truck bed by either hooking a handle or some other similar projection from the item with the hooking element or placing the hooking element on the side farthest from the user and then pulling the item within arm's reach of the user.
The invention is used to remove small items which are located in the ribbed grooves 101 of the covered truck bed 100 by placing the hooking element down into the ribbed groove 101 so that the item to be removed is between the user and the hooking element and then dragging the invention along the ribbed groove 101, thereby pulling the item within arm's reach of the user.
The specification is presented above to aid in the complete non-limiting understanding of the invention. Since many variations and embodiments of the invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention resides in the claims hereinafter appended.
